November 23, 2024. Gotta love Lisbon Festivals. The Christmas market festivals are just getting going in the Lisbon area. And there is a huge one right near where we are staying. We went there a couple of times for both shopping as well as eating and drinking. Nicke took a pass on having the “Pina Colada” in a pineapple, and instead opted for wine. I, of course, had a beer or 2. We shared a table with Lisa and Mauricio who were traveling from Spain (I think), and enjoyed their company.
